VALDOSTA – There are a few extra days to register for VLPRA’s Youth Summer Soccer League.
The Valdosta-Lowndes Parks and Recreation Authority offers the program to children as young as three years old, teaching them soccer basics while promoting physical activity. Meanwhile, the program offers older players a competitive soccer outlet. No matter the age, VLPRA soccer is a fantastic opportunity for exercise while also instilling lifelong values of good sportsmanship, discipline, and teamwork.
Parents can choose from several age groups: U-6, U-8, U-10, U-12, and middle school leagues. The U-6 and U-8 leagues are $50.00 per child while the other leagues are $75.00. There’s an extra $10.00 fee for anyone who lives outside of Lowndes County and there are discounts for families who register more than one child. The registration fee includes a jersey and socks. All leagues except the middle school leagues are co-ed.
This is the first year VLPRA has introduced middle school leagues divided by school. Rising 6th-8th graders can play on teams based on where they will attend school in the fall and VLPRA offers separate divisions for boys and girls in these leagues.
VLPRA extended the registration deadline to midnight June 5th. All games and practices will be at VLPRA’s Vallotton Youth Athletic Complex.
Parents can register their children online at vlpra.com or in person at VLPRA’s Administration office located at 1901 North Forrest Street in Valdosta.
